RGB is the color space of Red, Green, and Blue, the primary colors of light that computers, phones, and TVs use to display images on screen. It is an additive model: the three colors of light combine to create every on-screen color, and all three at full strength make white. R: Red G: Green B: Blue RGB is made for screens, while printing uses CMYK inks. Convert your files to CMYK before submitting them for print, since some vivid RGB colors cannot be reproduced exactly with ink and may look slightly different.
